Take I

Goddess stats based on yours

Hold the show.... I found something I already suspected

And now the testing can finally begin?

And initiating the boss fight is now done

This script will also end the battle once the combat reaches 1 HP... This is a kind of safety measure to bypass the normal fight end. That makes more sense given the final boss status, and is easier to go due to the invulnerability of the drones circling around her.

I've set up the script that will make the drones circle around the goddess

Let's see now!

One more adjustment

Almost there

Well, before we get onto the boss itself one more test (at least, I hope it'll be only one).

A few internal fixes

Issued as TrickyGameTools/Kthura#72

That is a bug in Kthura

Layer issue when layers are renamed

Coordinate fix on Wendicka's position

Post-Boss Script

Pre-Boss All set up

Let's see!

Pre-Goddess fight

Junk

Converted that to JFBF

Electrica Salsa font by WoodCutter

Checked "Spellbound", the song which will (just like in the original game) be used for the final battle

Take II

Yeah, it was really THAT trivial, but it does require more takes....

. that shouldn't be there

Nope.... That's was too much to ask for!

(and I hope this time the only take I need)

I

Examine dead admiral

Void succesful

Take VI

Another! It simply MUST go wrong, eh?

Take V

Syntax error

Take IV

You can't fix what ain't broken, but let's see if this voids the issue???

Crash? That cannot be!

Take III

Code typo

Take II

Tag error

Let's see

From here it should only be the final boss, but I gotta test this all first

Talk to corpse

Last meeting with an admiral

Take III

Did I fix that?

WTF? Doors moment instant in stead of sliding?

Another one then

File misnamed, therefore ignored

I see!

Let's see

Nothing happens

Let's see

Sliding doors in final part shoul work now

Tomorrow I'll get to manipulating the doors, the last even before meeting the final boss, and who knows perhaps I can even get some pre-work done for the boss fight itself.

The boss itself is a complicated one (code wise), but doable... question is if time will be on my side to truly get things done.

Go to the room where the final boss is waiting for you (the point of no return)

Well in order to punish myself for that stupid move, I made myself listen a full hour to that "you are an idiot" song!

Really that was beyond stupid!

And here I end this session for today. The preparations for the final boss are the next stop

All in order!

Take XIV

A few more look ups

Take XIII

FUck it!

Take XII

Stat misreferences

This one is for myself

Still no good?

Take XI

And (just like in the original game) buffed stats will be green and debuffed stats will be red in the status menu

I think I got the little bugger

But stuff is still not in order... The stat ups do not appear to take place...

All compiling errors accounted or

(Slowly getting there... Be patient my friends).

Take X

Missing return statement

Take IX

Syntax error

Take VIII

Scope error

Take VII

Take VI

Ability misreferrence

CRAP!

Take V

I hope

Jeroen, je bent een piemel!

Savegame data

It goes wrong on checking if floor 16 of Excalibur has been unlocked or not.... hmmm

Take IV

OPLETTEN!

Take III

Let's see then

Why?

Crystal does NOT teach "Sisters in all but blood"

Take II

Group error in teaching

Take I

I must note that I must check both obtaining and using this move.... This can take some time to do well

It should be noted that this move only works if both Wendicka and Crystal are up front (since only Wendicka can peform it, so she needed to be up front anyway, I only needed to check for Crystal).

Sisters in all but blood

So far everything appears to be working!

Take III

?

?

Take II

Library order issue

Let's check this out! - Test I

Recover spots will always remove all buffs and debuffs

The manner in how this happen is *of course* dependent on the chosen difficulty setting

This will SLOWLY cause buffs and debuffs to expire

Party.AutoBuffExpire()

Auto buff expire

Announcement stat up

From here I can fully work out the buff code

At last! It works!

Take V

Another round of the barf-script

Take IV (I didn't want to number them, but it seems we're going into that direction now).

NOW we got a real issue to fix.... A syntax mistake in the glue code

FUCK IT!

Code typos

Again!

GRRR!

Quick test

After that I will check if the character tag lister works the way it should

Preparing my lunch

I will have to run the tests later though, so something came in between.....

Tag overview in debug system

BARF = Build Apollo Resource File (what else did you think?)

That's just a matter of barf-ing anew

A small mistake in the glue code

Time to compile all this

That should link it all together

Which I wrote for the RPG APIs in pure Lua due to the complexity of the used Meta Tables

API Glue Script

All chars listout

A few adaptions here needed

Buffing itself works now, but I do need to set a few more things in order (or this would all be too easy)

vUpdates were falling behind? Oh, crap!

(Yeah, they won't have me on that one, again... I hope)

Adapted Item linkup script for buffing

Now Crystal's ARMS would always miss

Start to support buffing

Once again did the system just reset (for updates) without my consent.

I may be a Windows user (by lack of less terrible option at this moment), but my computer is still mine, not Microsoft's!

As this will get me into more complex stuff I'll save that for tomorrow.... The buffs and debuffs can be quite bothersome to code well....

I do need to script out this movem but for that I also need the buff moves to be working properly

Crystal will teach you "Sisters in all but blood" if Wendicka has Voltsunami and all abilities her comrades can teach her, if McLeen has been defeated and if Crystal has obtained the Ark Smash

very irritating, as it really undermines many safety issues

Lua destructor bug

I'll for now bypass the randomizer in Foxy teaching, as otherwise this test will take forever!

I've altered the Apollo builder a bit... this will add the data for if you want a console or not. This will only affect Windows builds of Apollo, since this this something that is only there in Windows anyway.

Since I did not yet update my C++ code, nothing will happen here, but as I'm getting closer and closer to the point where this could be needed.

An object that doesn't belong here

Blockmap Issue

FINALLY!

Let's see

Let's try some manual manipulation

Crash out of the blue on Kthura... What the fuck was happening there?

Well?

Let's see what the fuck is happening here

Coordinates do not seem right here

Again!

Code typo

Time for testing

The conveyor on Trash collection site - Marine should work now

Another test then

Blockmap issue in the "Playground" floor of Excalibur

Well, let's test stuff again, shall we?

I could hardly see through my glasses, so I needed to clean them....

But as the randomizer was against me on this test another one will be needed

At least I know that no crashes happen on the Hawk

Missing scenario Hawk for Yirl

Let's see

Foxy can randomly teach you how to pickpocket now

Running

I think I fixed #140

I really need my rest now.... See ya later!

Both are no reason for extra tests.... It will seem later if this is all succesful

No actor removal

Multi-target moves fired by George McLeen will not hit Crystal

No extra test for this one.... (unless other bugs pop up)

(older savegames may still suffer past this point).

Dupe McLeen fight

Take IX

Lic Data Updated

And fix andother crash in the McLeen fight

And that should cover them all

Summon Cyborg Medic

Summon Cyborg Ji

Summon Cyborg Gunner

Summon CyberAstrilopup

Summon Cybog Captain

Yum!

I'll be back!

Dinner's ready
